The Truth About Rep Ranges

This is what most people think:👇

• Strength is only built in the range of 1-6 reps. If you surpass this range, you start training for (hypertrophy) muscle growth. Once you go over 15 reps, you begin training for endurance only.

Sounds ridiculous right?

Well, because it is...😅

• The different types of adaptations that happen aren't completely exclusive to each other. They overlap to a great extent.

Don't get me wrong. If you want to train for strength, you're better off working in a lower rep range.

Just don't think that you're not going to

build any muscle that way.

🔍 Research has shown that muscle can also be built when working in a higher rep range given that you go to or close to failure.

• Rep ranges are an important aspect of your training. But don't get caught up worrying too much about how many reps you should do.

• Your consistency and the intensity that you train with will be responsible for the majority of your results.

• Not the fact that you're doing a couple of more or less.
